Hi

My accountant noticed that when I purchase instalment warrants the transaction reporter shows that I make two entries; 1) I debit a/c 1154 for capital and transaction amounts and credit a/c 1101 for bank then 2) I debit 1149 for the prepaid interest component and credit 1154 to reduce the capital price by the interest component. When he looked at the Asset listing summary it records the warrant at the total amount that was paid (ie it equal the bank figure) and step 2 doesn't reduce the amount under the asset listing. I don't think it's a big deal but really the asset listing should reduce by the prepaid interest figure.

Regards

Hi,

Your accountant is correct that the CR to 1154 should decrease the cost base of the asset in question. However, processing a general journal in this was does not change the asset record which is where the cost base of the asset is held.

To decrease the cost base of the asset and record some income to the bank you would need to record an event like a capital repayment (Housekeeping > Utilities > Capital Repayment). This processes a transaction which is:
DR Bank
CR Asset
and also reduces the cost base of the asset to be in line with the account.

Regards,
